Book Review - DIY Kids

DIY Kids

Author Ella and Julia Lupton

Published by Princeton Architectural Press

My daughter was given this book for her birthday by a very thoughtful friend.  Its packed full of great crafting and making projects catering for a both boys and girls across a wide age range (7-12) and ability levels.  Most of the project can be made up with things you can find around the house, others need more specialist resources.  The book has 4 categories: Graphics, Toys, Home and Fashion.
 
Pros - Really well thought out each project has clear explanations with great images and illustrations.  The projects are fun and reuse, recycle and remix is an ethos that is promoted throughout the book.

Cons - The book is relatively text heavy, this may be a problem for younger children and most projects would need some assistance from an adult.
